Subject: Embracing the Daily Miracles in Our Lives Dear Beloved, In the quiet moments of dawn, as we awaken to a new day, we are reminded of the profound truth: Never lose hope. Each day that God grants us is not merely a routine to be followed but a divine miracle waiting to unfold. The beauty of the morning light, the gentle whispers of nature, and the warmth of the sun are all testaments to the wonders that surround us. Don’t waste our day, for every single one is a miracle in itself, an opportunity to witness God's grace in action. Miracles are not confined to the pages of ancient texts or the stories of old; they are the fruits of faith that blossom in our everyday lives. God continues to work wonders within and around us, weaving His divine touch into the very fabric of our existence. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the epitome of this miraculous reality, a beacon of hope and redemption that shines brightly in our hearts. The miracle of resurrection, the promise of life renewed, is a reminder that we are constantly being made new in Christ. The apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 5:14, "Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." This call is not just a metaphor but a powerful invitation to awaken to the reality of God’s miracles in our lives. It is a call to open our eyes to the extraordinary within the ordinary, to see the divine hand in the simple and the everyday. As we embrace each day with gratitude and wonder, let us cherish the moments we are given. Let us recognize that every breath we take, every heartbeat, is a testament to God’s enduring love. Miracles abound in our lives, from the laughter of a child to the kindness of a stranger and the peace found in a quiet moment. The Gospel whispers to us that every day is a miracle, a precious gift from God. So, rise with the dawn, dear friends, and embrace the day with faith and hope. Let us navigate our journey with the assurance that God’s presence is with us, guiding and sustaining us. For every day is a miracle, wrapped in His grace and light. May we always be mindful of these daily miracles and live each day in the fullness of God’s love. In Christ’s love, Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 30, 2024)
